We missed the playoffs a single season. The Red Wings should just be dissolved and the city evacuated. There no hope. Life is a meaningless spiral of dysfunctional malaise. Burn your remaining jerseys for they bring nothing but despair as the Red Wings are no longer the very best team and are now filled with over-dramatic cry-babies.

I think you're undervaluing Duchene and/or overvaluing a top-15 pick in this draft. Don't be surprised if the Hurricanes or Islanders trade their 1st and a defenseman for Duchene.

I just can't get Renouf! Griffs up 3-0

2-0 Griffs!

Check that 18-12. 5-0... And I would say puck possession has been 75% in Griffins favor... Coreau s***ting the bed once again... Finally a goalie change.

Griffs take game 4

Griffs win and some good fights at the end

As an MSU alum I can get behind this color scheme

If Coreau used his size to his advantage I think he would do a lot better. He's not a bad goalie he just needs to make some adjustments. Seeing him play in person last night it was obvious that he makes himself smaller when the shot is being released. It looks like there's no room then as soon as the shot is taken, holes everywhere.

This thread is about Chelly, and I don't want to turn this into another Holland thread, but the next 2 months will illustrate the future of this team. With Mr. I passing, missing the playoffs for the first time in a quarter century, and the expansion looming, there will be huge opportunity to readjust this team and alter our approach. If Chris and Ken want to shakeup the team, the next two months is the time to do it. If they don't, I'm sure there will be a mid-July Holland gripe fest you can jump in on.

We do a very good job finding good players in rounds 2 - 4 San Jose is extremely good at picking in rounds 5 - 7 St. Louis does the best at selecting in the first round. Arizona is god awful at drafting across the board. My only problem with this graph is the first round should take into account what number pick you have. It doesn't, and this skews a lot of the data, making teams like Detroit, who always had low picks, appear worse than they are in the 1st round.
